On Page 122 there is a confirmation of this testimony by M. Souche, prisoners’ representative at Kommando 624, who writes:
“. . . certain war prisoners, converted into workers, and French civilian workers had organized in Cologne a Catholic Action group under the direction of the re-classified war-prisoner priests, Pannier and Cleton. . . .”
Finally, Page 123:
“. . . the arrests began with members of the Catholic Action”—and the accusations were—“anti-German maneuvers. . . .”
THE PRESIDENT: I do not know what Dr. Stahmer’s objection is.
DR. OTTO STAHMER (Counsel for Defendant Göring): We are not in a position to follow the exposé of the French Prosecutor. First of all, the translation is not very good. Some sentences are left out. Especially, wrong numbers are mentioned. For instance, 612 has been mentioned. I have it here. It is quite a different document. We have not the document books and therefore we cannot follow the page citations. Also my colleagues complain that they are not in a position to follow the proceedings under this manner of presentation.
THE PRESIDENT: May I see your document?
[The document was handed to the President.]
DR. STAHMER: This number was just mentioned, as can be confirmed by the other gentlemen.
THE PRESIDENT: The document which M. Dubost was reading was 672. The Document you have got there is a different number.
